Line 6 Spider Valve HD100 MkII Head

The Line 6 Spider Valve HD100 was the best selling tube head in America when it was released. Now, Line 6 has made it even better with its follow-up, the MkII, which incorporates even more amp models, effects, and sophisticated features into the all-tube design. It still features the signature boutique-style construction and still combines top of the line modern amp modeling with a genuine tube amp. Get the tone you always dreamed of, and build your own signature sound.

The Dream Team

When combining the best modeling has to offer with the best in tube amp construction, you want the best designers in both fields working together. Line 6's reputation for digital innovation is no secret, and they enlisted the help of tube wizard extraordinaire Reinhold Bogner to handle the analog side of things. The fruit of their labor--the Line 6 Spider Valve HD100 MkII--has all the juicy harmonic goodness of the best boutique tube amps with the near infinite flexibility you expect from the digital realm.

Amp Head

The Line 6 Spider Valve HD100 MkII features 16 of the most advanced Line 6 amp models, which, in turn, were inspired by some of the most famous amp heads and combos in the history of rock. With the amp you get everything from the sparkling clean tones of a Hiwatt(r) Custom 100 to the iconic Marshall Roar--and a whole lot more, all in one amp head. These amp models don't just sound like the real deal, they respond like the real deal, too. Call up a vintage Fender-style amp, for example, and it's tone stack switches to the familiar "scooped mid" setup. And, to further take advantage of modern technology it has 20 Smart FX, with capabilities for deep editing, seamless integration with MIDI rigs, and two output modes (one for the studio, one for the road).

Real Tube Tone--From Real Tubes

Many "hybrid" amps use low voltage tubes in the preamp and solid-state electronics for the power section. It's no hybrid--it's a genuine tube amp that gives you all the richness and warmth of the classic tube sound. With the Spider Valve HD100 MkII, you get two 12AX7's in the preamp section for warm, creamy breakup, plus four 6L6's in the power section for 100 watts of smackdown!

"Jack of all Trades..."

Sound:
I've been playing guitar for over 20 years & I know a thing or two about guitar tone. My friend owns the Spider Valve MKII 40 watt combo and he let me try it out at his house. I was blown away!!! My prior experience with Line 6 was the original Vetta amp that my other friend uses. That amp is solid state which I'm not a big fan of. Amp simulators, in my opinion, are like a tub of margarine. Sorry but it's not like real butter. The richness, texture and creaminess are all missed with solid state amp tone, at least at normal full band jam volume levels! So needless to say when I plugged the Spider Valve MKII, I could not believe the tone. Now, the amp is not perfect, but it's the closest thing I've witnessed. Being a full tube amp, you get all the tube tone, only with a hint of the solid state tone from the on board effects processor. And with all this amp does, I can live with that! I quit using my Mesa Duel and also my JMP head since I purchased the 100 watt version head. Beautiful cleans, Thundering Gains, Blues Twang and all points in between. It pretty much eliminated my effects pedal board as well. Well all except for the Deja Vibe... There's no replacing that pedal! All in all, I'm a huge fan of the amp and I can't believe that Line 6 won me over. BUT THEY DID!!! THANX
